Hello, finally finished writing this chapter :) I am sorry for any mistakes- I made my editor go through it to check it, but just in case (thank you, TheOriginalSpaceRanger, A.K.A editor). Enjoy:
I do not own Fairy Tail or anything~
Lucy walked behind Zeref as they passed by many stores and restaurants along the board walk, which was where he had dragged the blonde to. She was wearing his coat to cover her blood stained shirt so no one would be suspicious to why her shirt even had blood. The coat reached all the way down to her ankles since she was much shorter than Zeref, it was black with a high collar, had golden trimmings along the edge of the the collar all the way down to the end of the clothe, and had golden ovals that was aligned next to the trimmings all the way down to the chest. Lucy had the zipped up, but still felt uncomfortable because the jacket had an opening to show off the chest, which made some of the blood splatters visible.
She looked at Zeref, who wore a black dress shirt with ripped jeans and black shoes, and then looked away. He was absolutely gorgeous in her eyes, the way the sunlight angeled down on him, making him look like a fallen angel. A blush covered her cheeks at the thought of finding him attractive. She was so caught up in her thinking that she bumped into Zeref, who had stopped in front of a store.
"Sorry," she muttered under her breath whilst looking down to her feet.
"It's okay. Come on, lets go," he said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the shop. There they looked through hundreds of racks of clothing, forcing Lucy to wear a outfit once in a while and later she forced him to wear a couple of outfits she picked for him.
"Haha, you look so silly!" Lucy was rolling on the ground whilst she clutched her sides finding it hard to breathe due to all the laughter dancing off her tongue. Zeref mumbled some colourful words as he looked down in shame. The blonde forced him to wear a sort cheetah outfit, which consisted cheetah spotted-themed disco pants, a frilly black dress shirt, cheetah ears and black disco boots. He felt so... out of character.
"I'm changing," he said underneath his breath as he walked towards the changing room. Lucy sat up and whipped a few tears away as she chuckled a sinister laugh. She had secretly took a picture on her phone, and now she could always use it for black mailing, "lets go, I will take you out to dinner." Lucy's cheeks flushed with a light shade of pink, but nodded and followed close behind him. She wore the new outfit that Zeref had bought her: dark blue skinny jeans and a white blouse.
He lead her to a small restaurant which had a little porch that is on top of the ocean to enjoy the relaxing scenery of a sunset. They sat on a small, round glass table and Lucy couldn't help but think that it was the most romantic spot: looking out at the ocean which was painted with warm colours from the sun that was being eaten by the sea. She blushed and shook her head to get the thoughts out of her head, 'this is not a date! Calm down, Lucy!'.
"Are you okay? Your face is all red?" Zeref asked with a worried voice, but the blonde did not miss the little smirk that played on his lips.
"Yes, I am fine," she replied and looked out again at the never ending body of water. She did not feel like looking at his perfect face at the moment. In the background, soft classical music, although tense at parts, was played and few people chatted. The waiter came to their table, he wore a black waiters suit (a not too fancy looking one) and had green eyes and dark brown curly hair.
"Have you decided to take your order yet?" He said in a smooth face, and only eyed the blonde haired beauty, not really looking towards the man.
"Yes, we have. We would like the best quality meal you have here and the finest wine in stock, please ," Zeref said with a frown, a bit mad that the waiter, who had the name 'John' on his name tag, was staring at his Lucy.
"Right away, sir," John replied as he grabbed the unused menus, disappointed that he couldn't stare at Lucy for a bit longer.
"Wine? We can't drink wine! We're underage," she exclaimed as she gave a little glare towards the brunette.
"Well, technically, I am not underage, I am biologically-speaking twenty-five," the blonde's mouth dropped. He was much older than her! But of course, he was a zombie, he doesn't age since his body was just a corpse- a handsome corpse. "And don't worry, I won't give you too much wine, I am an adult, a responsible adult."
"Yeah, sure," she grumbled underneath her breath. Then, the waiter returned with two fancy looking dishes and a bottle of wine. He gently set the meals before the two people, elegantly poured the wine into the glasses and mumbled a 'eat well' before leaving. Lucy drooled as she stared down at the food. It wasn't the fanciest, but it was in some way. The meal consisted of angel hair noodles with cheese sauce and a large steak which had garlic sauce on top and a small salad on the side.
"Are you actually going to eat or stare at your food all night?" Lucy shot him a glare before starting to eat. They ate in silence and the stars and moon danced their way onto the dark blue blanket of the night. The blonde took a small sip of her wine, finding it a very bitter taste at first but soon became to love it. "Lucy, are you okay?" Zeref asked worriedly, the girl has a blush covering her cheeks and looked drunk. 'Maybe it wasn't the best idea to give her alcohol...' he sweat dropped and took out money to pay for the meal. "Come, I will take you home," he offered her his hand and she gladly took it.
He thought that she was going to behave well, but he was dead wrong. It felt as if he was babysitting a five year old who hadn't learned manners yet, and Zeref heard that she came from a rich family. Lucy was saying random things about how she hated the way her father treated her, and other stuff that mostly came out as gibberish.
Suddenly, she stopped, grabbed Zeref's hand and ran off, dragging him along. She soon stopped near the ocean on the sand in a spot that no one at. They were there alone, and the only sound was the music of the waves rolling upon shore.
Lucy lay down on the cold sand and patted the ground to signal for him to lay down beside her. Zeref obeyed her movement and whilst he lay down, he watched her look at the bright stars that shine in the heavens. She had such a peaceful face and soon he noticed that her eyes slowly closed. 'Great, now I have to literally carry her home.'
